Abstract Background To determine whether posterior-only approach using pedicle screws in neuromuscular scoliosis population adequately addresses the correction of scoliosis and maintains the correction over time. Methods Between 2003 and 2006 26 consecutive patients 7 cerebral palsy 10 Duchenne muscular dystrophy 5 spinal muscular atrophy and 4 others with neuromuscular scoliosis underwent posterior pedicle screw fixation for the deformity. Preoperative immediate postoperative and final follow-up Cobb s angle and pelvic obliquity were analyzed on radiographs. The average age of the patients was years range 8-44 years and the average follow-up was 25 months 18-52 months . Results Average Cobb s angle was before surgery after surgery correction
